Crews will start work Sunday on a section of Eastern Avenue between St. Rose Parkway and Silverado Ranch Boulevard.

According to the city of Henderson, crews will be upgrading the road to make it safer for drivers and bicyclists.

Crews will be working between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday. There will be lane restrictions nightly through the end of the year. They will be removing and replacing asphalt, bringing sidewalk ramps up to American with Disabilities Act standards and creating bicycle lanes.

The project was funded by the fuel tax increase passed by the Clark County Commission last year.

Lanes along I-15 will be closed starting Monday while crews cut detector loops used to keep an eye on traffic flow.

According to Nevada Highway Patrol, lanes along northbound I-15 will be closed overnight at different sections. The first section will be just north of the Blue Diamond Road interchange. The three left lanes will be closed while crews cut the loops, which have been monitoring traffic flow.

The second section will be Tuesday just south of Russell Road, Wednesday will be just north of Tropicana Avenue and Thursday will be just north of Spring Mountain Road.

Work for the new Cactus Avenue interchange will force lane restrictions along I-15 this week.

The Nevada Department of Transportation announced plans to reduce the southbound freeway to one lane from 9 p.m. Monday to 5 a.m. Tuesday, while crews install girders for the overpass. Once that work is finished, traffic will be shifted back to the western half of the freeway.

I-15 northbound will be reduced to one lane from 9 p.m. Tuesday to 5 a.m. Wednesday. When that work is finished, the I-15 northbound traffic will be shifted to the western half of the freeway.

The Cactus Avenue interchange will eventually allow drivers to get on and off I-15 from Cactus Avenue, relieving congestion at Silverado Ranch Avenue and St. Rose Parkway. The project will also extend Cactus Avenue between Dean Martin Drive and Las Vegas Boulevard.
